Someone doctored or something the Badge on pocket, can't tell what it is for now, best guess is a Black Wound Badge?

Aha!  That is the Kriegsmarine blockade runner badge with a huge eagle on the bow of a ship.

That's odd, it does look like it, he's Heer though, perhaps he was one of those Navy Sailors transferred to the Army in fall of 1944.

A Wartime photo, note the Infantry Assault Badge and 1939 Clasp for Iron Cross 2nd Class for the current war. An old Subaltern, Great War and Freikorps Veteran with the Silesian Eagle award, no doubt either a Leutnant  der Landwehr or  Leutnant  der Reserve

Here's a real intriguing one, a Herr Groom wearing faded Tropical Uniform, Cap included. Was this uniform permitted to be worn by Africa Corps personnel on leave  or convalescing in Germany???  Hmm could this one be taken say in Greece, with the Bride being Female personnel in the Wehrmacht or some other NSDAP Organization???

Future Chancellor of West Germany from 1974 to 1982 Helmut Schmidt. Date June 27 1942, Bride Hannelore Glaser nickname Loki. Schmidt was a Flak Officer, seen action in the USSR 1941-42, unit not given. Wedding took place I believe when Schmidt was on Staff at the Reichsluftfahrtministerium Berlin. By the Autumn of 1944 Schmidt was back at the Front, here during The Battle of The Bulge, unit not given.
